Safe measurements on power electronics
Analyzing modern electric drive systems requires measur-
ing motor voltages and currents while analyzing digital
control signals. Safety is a key consideration for such
measurements.
The R&S®Scope Rider offers up to four isolated input
channels with CAT IV 600 V rating that allow measure-
ments on high-voltage electronics without compromising
safety. Digital control signals can be analyzed with the
8-bit logic interface that is isolated from the analog input
channels. The protocol trigger and decode capability of the
R&S®Scope Rider is unprecedented in handheld oscillo-
scopes and provides direct display of decoded messages.
High-speed acquisition system with deep history:
never miss rare faults again
Capturing and analyzing rare anomalies in electric signals
is a typical use case when debugging electronic systems.
With an acquisition rate of up to 50 000 waveforms per
second – more than 1000 times faster than conventional
handheld oscilloscopes – the R&S®Scope Rider sees
signals other scopes miss. Rare faults in signals can be
reliably captured and analyzed.
In history mode, the instrument automatically stores up to
5000 waveforms in a separate history buffer. At any point
in time, acquisition can be stopped and any waveform in
the history buffer can be analyzed using the full oscillo-
scope functionality. One-time anomalies that would have
been missed by a conventional handheld oscilloscope can
now be analyzed in detail.
Lab oscilloscope performance
When debugging embedded devices in the lab or analyz-
ing complex problems in the field, the R&S®Scope Rider of-
fers the performance and capabilities of a lab oscilloscope
as well as the form factor and ruggedness of a battery-
operated handheld device.
Small sensor signals can be analyzed with an excellent ver-
tical sensitivity of 2 mV/div. Triggering on protocol events
and decoding protocol data enables convenient debugging
of digital control signals. A digital trigger system provides
the best trigger sensitivity available in a handheld oscil-
loscope, and 14 trigger types give the flexibility required
to capture exactly the right signal. With 33 automatic
measurement functions, the R&S®Scope Rider delivers the
capabilities of a lab oscilloscope when analyzing signal
parameters.
The high-speed acquisition system of the ¸Scope Rider captures
up to 50 000 waveforms/s and uncovers rare and unexpected signal
anomalies.
